When it comes to hosting tech meetups, Zalando’s brand-new Fashion Insights Centre in Dublin is officially in full swing. Earlier this month we hosted the Dublin Cassandra Users, our very first tech meetup in our spacious Silicon Docks digs—and on July 1 we’re opening our doors to recommenders.ie, a new group for recommender systems enthusiasts. The night will include two talks:

• Gracenote Research Engineer Cameron Summer will explain how to enhance entertainment data systems using algorithmic analysis of big data generated from Internet radio
• Benjamin Heitmann, a post-doctoral researcher at the Insight Centre for Data Analytics at NUI Galway, will discuss how to balance privacy concerns and personalization

In addition to great talks, we’ll have pizza and beer. Join us by RSVPing here—but hurry, as seats are going fast.
